Hi again! We were in Stockholm last weekend and stayed with our dear friend Marylyn in her charming house with pinnacles and towers! Got to know one another more than 20 years ago and it´s thanks to her and her sister Millan, that we ended up in wonderful Fornalutx/Mallorca. Marylyn is a divinely gifted artist/sculptress - don´t think I know anyone that creates as beautiful as she does! Here you see her in her light and beautiful studio with her beloved labradors.

This portrait hangs in our library and we have a couple in Fornalutx too, think that they "suit" our homes. Marylyn also sculpts fantastic horses - probably her prime hallmark! She grew up on the family estate in Småland but in early years left for Stockholm, where she combined art studies with working as a horse trainer.

Here you see a horse in an almost natural size. It´s a prototype that has been used for fabricating a form where the original has been cast in bronze. Lots of work lies behind every bronze horse - no matter the size.

En vackert hängd porträttsamling i trappan, som leder från hallen upp till köket & vardagsrummet. A beautifully hung collection of portraits in the staircase, that leads from the hallway up to the kitchen & living room!

An evocative window sill in Göstas´studio. He passed away a few years ago, of course left a huge void but also many wonderful memories. He was a graphic artist - ingeniously good! He and Marylyn lived for their art, family, friends - both here in Sweden and in Mallorca. We had the great honour of knowing him for some years, a man with an incredible humour & creativity!

Göstas glazed tiles - for decoration of public spaces but also beautiful in a private home - in a kitchen, bathroom and why not as a tabletop! In the picture below you glimpse a couple of tiles with sea-horses in our staircase in Fornalutx and Marylyns bronze horse in the background!
